Hallie Ephron on Writing Suspense



On Thursday, April 28, at 7 p.m., Grub Street South at Buttonwood Books & Toys in Cohasset will be offering a writing seminar with author Hallie Ephron. Here are the details:

Presenter: HALLIE EPHRON

TOPIC: Writing Suspense

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

You know it when you feel it. Suspense is what makes it impossible to put the book down and turn off the light. Whether you’re writing a novel that’s primarily a mystery, a thriller, or suspense, suspense is that essential ingredient that turns the book into a “page turner.” In this workshop, the class will talk about what makes suspense work, including the variety of tools a writer can use to create suspense and to modulate it, and how to manage suspense in a book-length work.

HALLIE EPHRON is is an award-winning mystery reviewer for the Boston Globe. She is the author of several popular books, including the recently released Come and Find Me, a suspenseful novel about a recluse who works and lives online and must brave the “real world” when her sister goes missing. Hallie's other titles include 1001 Books for Every Mood and The Everything Guide to Writing Your First Novel. Ephron lives near Boston, Massachusetts.

This is a free event, however, reservations are required. Please call Buttonwood at 1-781-383-2665 to reserve your spot.
